Answer:

filiform papillae

Explanation:

The filiform papillae, also called conical papillae, are sensory receptors distributed on two thirds of the lingual dorsum. They are the most abundant papillae on the surface of the tongue and are not associated with taste reception because they have the smallest number of taste receptors.

These papillae are arranged fairly evenly in rows parallel to the central groove of the tongue, especially in the center and back. These papillae are made up of connective tissue and an epithelium that expresses keratin, a protein present in people's skin, hair and nails.

What effect would there be on the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers failed to pull a chromosome toward the pole, as in c

allochka39001 [22]

Aneuploidy can result in the final daughter cell if the spindle fibers fail to pull a chromosome toward the pole as in case of non-disjunction.

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is a condition which arises when one or more chromosome is missing in the final daughter cells.

Non-disjunction refers to the failure of chromosomal or chromatid segregation or separation during cell division. This results in erroneous meiosis or mitosis leading to the formation of final daughter cells or gametes with an extra or missing chromosome. This condition is aneuploidy.

Failure of separation or segregation of:

Homologous chromosomes occur in Anaphase I, affects four daughter cells.
Sister chromatids during Anaphase II, affects two daughter cells

This failure of separation leads to aneuploidy chromosomal abnormalities like monosomy, trisomy, etc which can cause diseases like Down’s syndrome, Turner’s syndrome etc.

If the lithosphere is resting on the asthenosphere and you put a lot of

statuscvo [17]

Answer:

Explanation:

Can you think of a solid that can flow?

You use one twice a day! Toothpaste is a solid that can flow. Is the asthenosphere made of toothpaste? Only if the

toothpaste is ultramafic in composition, and then it would only be able to flow if it were really, really hot. Still the

toothpaste analogy gives you a good image of how the asthenosphere might behave if you squeezed it!

Lithosphere

The lithosphere is composed of both the crust and the portion of the upper mantle that behaves as a brittle, rigid

solid. The lithosphere is the outermost mechanical layer, which behaves as a brittle, rigid solid. The lithosphere is

about 100 kilometers thick. How are crust and lithosphere different from each other?
